After comedian John Oliver called upon notorious internet comment trolls to fight for an open internet, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) received 20,000  comments on its proposed rules to allow internet providers to charge different rates for content speed, nearly doubling the total comments from past month in a single week, despite the site's frequent crashes.

According to the commission's spokeswoman interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, the FCC organized a team to read every comment and flag some to pass along to the upper ranks, with the ambitious goal of taking every viewpoint into consideration. 

The comments are available in real time for public viewing. Some are multi-paragraph arguments while others are all-capped rants. Here are a sample of comments from Monday:

"Preserve net neutrality. The cable industry is already all buy monopolized. Don't make it worse," Riley Giaquinto wrote.

"I do not want different levels of access based on how wealthy a company is," Yael Cohen wrote. 

"Please keep net neutrality and don't give priority speed to certain people or companies," Cheryl Haines wrote.

The net neutrality debate

Net neutrality is the principle that the no matter how large or small the content provider, each should have equal access to the web, meaning that net neutrality advocates stand against allowing internet providers, like Comcast or Verizon, to charge different rates for faster speeds. 

Ever since a high court decided in January to reduce the FCC's authority to regulate internet providers, the future of net neutrality has hovered in limbo. In April, the commission released proposed rules that would allow providers to charge different rates for services like video streaming that require a large amount of bandwidth. 

The FCC has since been taking public comments online.
